Sanatorium (2013)
2/10
Dismal Borefest
14 May 2023
So, here we have the usual group of twenty-somethings exploring a disused medical institution, bringing their cameras with them.

We are supposed to believe that these people are well-known documentary makers, despite showing no depth of knowledge or even interest in their subject, any aptitude for film-making or charisma in front of the camera. In fact, there is nothing about this group even to like, let alone engage the viewer.

The plot is no less sub-par. Without wanting to give the plot away (thin though it is), can you guess whether this group make it out of the building again?

That is the correct guess.

For the entire first half of the film, nothing happens. I am not exaggerating. They wander about the building, and that's it.

For most of the second half, they yell, scream, holler, wail, shout at each other and run about in a blind panic

A good editor would have cut this film down to about 5 or 10 minutes, and it would have still been too long..
